DynA-Crypt ransomware might also distribute its payload file on social media and file-sharing networks. Freeware distributed on the Internet can be presented as helpful but could also hide the malicious script for this cryptovirus. Refrain from opening files right after you have downloaded them, especially if they come from dubious sources like links and emails. Instead, you should scan them with a security tool, beforehand. Also you should do a check on the size and signatures of these files, for anything unusual. Read the tips for ransomware prevention from the forum to know more ways to avoid infection.

DynA-Crypt Virus – Information

DynA-Crypt ransomware is believed to be made with a Dynamite malware creation toolkit. Malware researchers have seen the similarities in the code.

DynA-Crypt ransomware executes Powershell commands, which shut down the administration part of the Windows Operating System almost entirely, along with many other features. Below are probably the most important commands, which the virus executes:

Except the logging of keystrokes, the DynA-Crypt virus creates screenshots, and tries to establish a remote connection. After all these commands come into play, a window pops up, showing you the ransom note.

This is how the note looks like:

The ransom note of DynA-Crypt reads the following:

DynA-Crypt All your important files are encrypted Your computer has been blocked If you want unlock send 50 $ BTC To this wallet if not files will be Randomly deleting every 5 minutes 1JzypNfNnJRWRFJFxNo5qAt13vYmxqeEz5

From the note of the DynA-Crypt ransomware the following Bitcoin address is given for you to pay for unlocking your files – 1JzypNfNnJRWRFJFxNo5qAt13vYmxqeEz5. However, you should NOT under any circumstance pay the cybercriminals, nor contact them. Your files may not get restored, and nobody could give you a guarantee for that. Furthermore, giving money to these criminals will likely motivate them to spread more malware or do other criminal activity.

The following list contains all file extensions that the DynA-Crypt ransomware seeks to encrypt:

Every file that gets encrypted will receive the same extension appended to them, and that is the .crypt extension. Malware researchers believe that the encryption algorithm which is utilized by this ransomware is AES.

4. Try to Restore files encrypted by DynA-Crypt

Try to Restore Files Encrypted by DynA-Crypt

Ransomware infections and DynA-Crypt aim to encrypt your files using an encryption algorithm which may be very difficult to decrypt. This is why we have suggested several alternative methods that may help you go around direct decryption and try to restore your files. Bear in mind that these methods may not be 100% effective but may also help you a little or a lot in different situations.

Method 2: Trying Kaspersky and EmsiSoft’s decryptors.If the first method does not work, we suggest trying to use decryptors for other ransomware viruses, in case your virus is a variant of them. The two primary developers of decryptors are Kaspersky and EmsiSoft, links to which we have provided below:

Method 4: Finding the decryption key while the cryptovirus sends it over a network via a sniffing tool.

Another way to decrypt the files is by using a Network Sniffer to get the encryption key, while files are encrypted on your system. A Network Sniffer is a program and/or device monitoring data traveling over a network, such as its internet traffic and internet packets. If you have a sniffer set before the attack happened you might get information about the decryption key. See how-to instructions below:
